“Created to support a more positive spin than its counterpart, Kiss a Ginger Day brings sweet kisses to redheads who may have once been teased for the colour of their hair.”

The site also shares a little science behind what causes those strawberry blonde strands.

“Redhair gene is recessive and requires two copies for it to present itself," it says.

“Even then there is no guarantee it will. If both parents have the gene, there is a 1 in 4 chance they will have a redheaded child. Most natural born redheads (yes, some of us like the bottle) have brown eyes, followed by green or hazel.”

But if you have blue eyes and red hair, you’re extra special.

The website says: “Coming in at 1% of the world’s population, the blue-eyed ginger is the rarest kind. So if you give one of these ginger’s a kiss, consider yourself lucky.”
